Now Available:

Featured Resource:

Steve Lamb puts together an excellent five part series on securing a wireless network. He starts with the process of enabling WPA -- or Wireless Protected Access. Then goes into a great conversation on SSID's, enabling them, hiding them, and the limited security they provide. Part 3 goes into reconfiguring Vista for secured wireless connections, followed by parts 4 and 5 on connecting to that secured wireless network through both XP and Vista.

Where this particular series excels is that Steve has done them as a series of screencasts. So in addition to being able to read what to do, you can also see in his video snippets.
